"1 like sewing, gymnastics, horseback riding, languages, and oil painting," she states. "I work in ceramics and I ride a motorcycle." "I grow plants and do handicrafts. I could go on and on!" she laughs. Ronna, born in Spokane on January 12, 1968, came to Shelton as a baby and was reared in this area. Now a fourth-grader in Mt. View School, she joined Camp Fire while a first-grade pupil. "In our present group," she says, "Mrs. Barbara Webber and Mrs. Pat Radich are leaders. We learn handicrafts and skills. We made our own vests and our banner. We learn cooking, too, but I first learned at home from my mom." Ronna's parents are Inez and Ronald Jacobsen. She has two older brothers, Glen and Craig. Both reside in Shelton. Her mother taught Cooking for a Camp Fire group when Ronna was in second grade. across form Johnson's Point on Key Center Peninsula and there they spend almost every weekend.

As a four-year-old Ronna served as mascot for Shelton Highclimbers. "That was one of the most exciting things in my whole life!" she exclaims. "I had to try hard to remember the cheers!" Upon wluch of la.r many talents will Ronna eventually concentrate? Into what channels will her diversified skills be channelled? She has no plans. "I'm thinking of being a doctor some day," she says, "but I'm not at all sure." She recommends her Sour Cream Potatoes: "They taste just like baked potatoes with all the trimmings," she says. Her Fresh Fruit Puff Frosting is versatile and can be used to top any cool sponge cake or angel food cake to make a dessert that is light, delicious and refreshing. "The recipe can be varied," she explains, " by using different fruits with gelatins of the same flavor."

I have been here in Napier, Hawkes Bay New Zealand for almost four months. It seems hard to believe that I have been here that long. The time has gone so fast. We're going into Winter here now and the weather is getting colder. The average temperature has been 8 celsius. Our May holidays were front May 6th to the 21st. 1 thought that this would be a good time for me to slow down and catch up on my letter writing, but no such luck. I was busy the whole time. I went to Wellington, the capitol of New Zealand for a couple days. Wellington is at the bottom of the North Island. I him. I did get to see the Parliament building and the "Bee-hive" still under construction. The "Bee-hive" is going to be the new parliament building and government office building. It resembles a giant bee-hive. I also went to Ohope for 6 days. I went with a Presbyterian minister to attend a Maori Synod (meeting). When we arrived we were welcomed onto the marae. A marae is the meeting house. The Maori people are the natives of NewZeaiand. Tie Welcome ceremony consisted of speeches, in english and maori, and singing. The first night we slept in the marae with about 50 other people. We got to sleep about 12:30. We were woke in the morning by chanting, and singing. Then at 6:45 they held a church service while almost everybody was still in bed. It was a really neat experience to YOU'RE GOING TO LOOK ON YOUR WEDDING BEAUTIFUL DAY. And we're going to help.
